Or for those folks that can't make up their mind. Although the Volk GT series wheels (GT-N's, GT-P's, etc.) are only two piece wheels, they are pretty much the same thing as 3-piece wheels. Volk has developed different colored spokes that can be interchangeable and do not need the removal of the tire to do so.

I don't really see an advantage to 3 piece wheels, most of them are still pretty heavy, but they just look 10 million times better than 1-piece wheels. I just love the way a car looks with a nice, shiny polished lip. But of course I'm biased, so...

They'd look good on a German car but those rivet things look stupid on Hondas.

I would have to disagree
